Won't make a blind bit of difference. They'll just use other forms of "payment" to make sure they get their influence.

I think the big three should be fixed at the same amount. Smaller party's are different matter and they need not be fixed as they don't have the punching power of the big three.

Over to Cameron/Clegg for there in put.
